Photographer Carl Battreall explains how to keep digital cameras alive and kicking when working in extreme cold can be difficult.

Naneu expands its Adventure series with the Outlander 50L camera backpack and unveiled the newest versions of the K5 v2 and the K4L v2. The latest additions and the upgrades are the answer for consumers who asked to add specific features to the already popular photo hiking pack from the Adventure series.

 (Orlando, FL, November, 27^th 2012) Naneu, a company that has been providing versatile camera bags for photographers is enhancing its Adventure series with a more Hybrid pack.

 It was a huge success and big demand world wide. After so many calls from outdoor photographers asking for certain added features as well as a smaller version such as the 50L, again we listened, and we are happy to introduce our latest additions.

 It started with the Adventure K5 85L (best of PMA 2008) a true professional Hybrid pack that can carry a week’s worth of hiking gear including a dedicated removable camera pod. The new model Outlander 50L and the K5 v2 80L features the same removable camera pod  that can accommodate a PRO DSLR body with up to 9” long lens with additional 3 to 4 more lenses, flash and accessories and has the ability to strap on the front harness. It enables you to keep hiking while the pack is on the back and the camera pod is at the front should you need to snap a quick photo. Some outdoor photographers just use it as a weight balancing. The main additional feature to the redesigned Adventure K4L v2 is a pull out camera compartment with the ability to tack it to the front waist belt or simply use it as an independent waist pack or shoulder bag with the included shoulder strap. The K4L v2 camera compartment is designed to accommodate a PRO DSLR body with battery pack attached, 1 long lens up to 8.3”, 2 more small lenses and other accessories.

Additional features were implemented to make the bags more outdoor friendly such as a variety of colors, lightweight materials, hydration compartment and improvement to the ergonomic back support system. The bags will be available at the market by February 15th 2013.

The assignment was simple but not without its problems. My job was to shoot a fellow artist at work, although while I use lenses and flash, this guy does his talking with needles and ink. Ouch!
